Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of suspended conveying technology, specifically to an automatic suspended conveying device. Background Technology

[0002] Existing automated suspended conveyor systems often employ complex mechanical structures for removing parts. For example, they may use multi-joint robotic arms with intricate grippers to pick up parts. During operation, the robotic arm needs to perform adjustments in multiple degrees of freedom, including rotation, extension, and pitch. Each movement requires precise control and a considerable execution time. Furthermore, before picking up a part from the suspension device, it is necessary to perform positioning to ensure that the grippers are accurately aligned with the part. This process adds extra time and reduces overall removal efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides an automatic suspended conveying device that solves the problem of low efficiency in retrieving parts after they have been suspended and conveyed to a designated position.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an automatic suspended conveyor device, including a suspension line, a release bin installed on the suspension line, and a suspended conveyor for conveying production parts on the suspension line; The suspension conveyor includes an inner shaft, an outer shaft, and a suspension component placed on the inner shaft and extending outward through the outer shaft, with the production parts suspended on the suspension component. The suspension component includes a central plate sleeved on the inner shaft, and a circumferentially rotatable mounting suspension bar on the central plate. The suspension bar consists of a straight plate, a sliding plate, and a baffle. The sliding plate is arc-shaped and connected between two straight plates. The baffle is installed on the side wall of the straight plate. The baffle has a trapezoidal cross-section to reduce the distance between the baffle and the outer cylinder after passing through the sliding plate.

[0005] In one embodiment, the outer shaft is hollow and slides up and down relative to the inner shaft. The top of the inner shaft is connected to a top plate, and a release plate is installed on the top of the outer shaft. Ball bearings are installed on the bottom surface of the release plate. The outer shaft has a through slot through which the suspension bar extends outward, and the length of the slot is greater than the thickness of the suspension bar. The middle disc includes a disc body with several grooves. A shaft is connected between the left and right sidewalls of the grooves, and an end shaft that connects to the straight plate is rotatably sleeved on the shaft.

[0006] In one embodiment, the recessed surface of the slide plate is located at the bottom of the straight plate, and the baffle is disposed on the side wall of the straight plate between the slide plate and the outer shaft, with the intercepting surface of the baffle facing away from the outer shaft.

[0007] In one embodiment, the release chamber includes two symmetrical side plates, and each of the two side plates is equipped with a support track for maintaining the initial state of the outer shaft and an auxiliary track for sliding down or up relative to the inner shaft. The maintaining track and the auxiliary track are connected and staggered. The maintaining track is a planar track with a constant height, while the auxiliary track is a U-shaped track with an inclined slope.

[0008] In one embodiment, a groove formed on the inner shaft is adapted to a protrusion on the inner wall of the outer shaft.

[0009] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides an automatic suspended conveyor device, which has the following beneficial effects: In the technical solution disclosed in this utility model, the relative motion between the inner shaft and the outer shaft is used to achieve a follow-up effect on the suspension components installed on the inner shaft when the outer shaft moves. By controlling the position of the outer shaft, the control of several suspension components is achieved, which reduces the control precision and the difficulty of controlling several suspension components individually, and improves the detachment efficiency of the suspension parts and the convenience of overall equipment control.

[0010] The release plate in this solution is specially configured so that when the release plate enters the auxiliary track, it can move smoothly with the slope of the auxiliary track without tilting or changing its angle. Attached Figure Description

[0015] Figures 1-5 As one embodiment of this utility model, an automatic suspended conveyor device includes a suspension line 1, a release chamber 2 installed on the suspension line 1, and a suspended conveyor 3 for conveying production parts on the suspension line 1.

[0016] The suspended conveyor 3 includes an inner shaft 31, an outer shaft 32, and a suspension member 33 placed on the inner shaft 31 and extending outward through the outer shaft 32. Production parts are suspended on the suspension member 33. The suspension member 33 includes a central disc 331 sleeved on the inner shaft 31. The central disc 331 includes a disc body with three grooves. A shaft is connected between the left and right sidewalls of the grooves. A bearing connects the shaft to an end shaft 37 connected to a straight plate 333. A suspension bar 332 is connected to the end shaft 37. The suspension bar 332 consists of a straight plate 333, a sliding plate 334, and a baffle 335. The recessed surface of the sliding plate is located at the bottom of the straight plate 333, and the baffle 335... The baffle 335 is installed on the side wall of the straight plate 333 between the sliding plate 334 and the outer shaft 32. The intercepting surface of the baffle 335 is away from the outer shaft 32 to prevent the parts from sliding a long distance on the straight plate 333 and to increase the time for them to fall off when they need to fall. The sliding plate 334 is arc-shaped and is connected between the two sections of the straight plate 333. The baffle 335 is installed on the side wall of the straight plate 333. The cross section of the baffle 335 is trapezoidal to reduce the distance between the parts and the outer cylinder after passing through the sliding plate 334.

[0017] The release chamber 2 includes two symmetrical side plates 21. The side plates 21 are connected to the side walls of the annular track. On the opposite side walls of the two side plates 21, there are a maintenance track 22 for maintaining the initial state of the auxiliary outer shaft 32 and an auxiliary track 23 for sliding down or up relative to the inner shaft 31. The maintenance track 22 and the auxiliary track 23 are connected and staggered. The maintenance track 22 is a planar track with a constant height, and the auxiliary track 23 is a U-shaped track with an inclined side slope. The outer shaft 32 is hollow and slides up and down relative to the inner shaft 31. A groove 4 on the inner shaft 31 fits into a protrusion on the inner wall of the outer shaft 32. A top plate 34 is connected to the top of the inner shaft 31. The top plate 34 is placed on the production line and moves with it. A Gh965 annular suspension guide rail is used as the drive source for the top plate 34. The top plate 34 is placed inside the suspension guide rail and moves accordingly. A release plate 35 is installed on the top of the outer shaft 32. Ball bearings are installed on the bottom surface of the release plate 35. The release plate 35 includes a flat plate and symmetrically arranged inclined plates on the left and right ends of the flat plate. The flat plate and two inclined plates combine to form a circular plate structure with a horizontal top surface. The flat plate is connected to the outer shaft 32. The inclination of the two inclined plates is adapted to the slope inclination of the auxiliary track 23. When the release plate 35 moves on the maintaining track, the bottom plate is mainly connected to the maintaining track 22. When passing the auxiliary track 23, when going downhill, the bottom surface of the inclined plate at the right end is connected to the slope of the auxiliary track 23, and when going uphill, the bottom surface of the inclined plate at the left end is connected to the slope of the auxiliary track 23. In this way, the release plate 35 is always stable and the angle does not change.

[0018] The outer shaft 32 has a through slot 36, through which the suspension bar 332 extends outward. The length of the slot 36 is greater than the thickness of the suspension bar 332. During the movement of the outer shaft 32 following the inner shaft 31, the inner shaft 31 remains stationary in the vertical direction due to the drive of the suspension guide rail. However, the outer shaft 32 slides up and down under the action of the auxiliary rail 23. At this time, the slot 36 will push the suspension bar 332 upward or make it fall down. When the outer shaft 32 remains stationary relative to the inner shaft 31, that is, when the outer shaft 32 is located on the holding rail 22, the bottom surface of the suspension bar 332 contacts the lower edge of the slot 36, keeping the production part suspended. When it reaches the auxiliary rail 23, on the downhill side, the suspension bar 332 falls towards the outer shaft 32, contacts the obstruction of the production part, and the production part slides off. On the subsequent uphill side, the suspension bar 332 gradually returns to the suspended state until it is back on the holding rail 22, completing a cycle of suspending and dropping the production part.

[0019] The control method of this utility model is automatic control through a controller. The control circuit of the controller can be implemented by simple programming by those skilled in the art. The power supply is also common knowledge in the field. Since this utility model is mainly used to protect mechanical devices, the control method and circuit connection will not be explained in detail.
